By the time Charlotte told Jodie Foster they could watch the dailies, the wrap party was over.

Because the purpose of the party is to allow everyone to relax and go home early, the party is held today, so the party itself is very simple and the duration is not long. Just drove back to Los Angeles.

Of course, as the director and assistant director, neither Charlotte nor Lao Qiang left. They also shouldered the task of taking Jodie Foster to check the sample film-especially if it involves whether the other party will increase investment, which can be said to be an important task. shoulder.

Also not gone is Charlize,

"I want to see what my performance in this movie is like in advance!"

Well, this reason does sound positive, at least Jodie Foster appreciates her attitude as an actor.

However, in Charlotte's view, Charlize's doing so is completely meaningless. As a director, he knows very well that as long as he puts his mind to it, whether it is through photography or editing, a good actor's wonderful performance can be turned into shit. And conversely, even shitty performances, with the help of camera and editing alone, aren't irreparable -- albeit at a high price.

But even knowing this, Charlotte didn't say anything. After all, as long as he saw the blond girl chatting and laughing with Jodie Foster, he knew that the girl had a lot of ulterior motives.

—Speaking of which, Jodie Foster seems to be a lesbian.

Charlotte's mind involuntarily began to fantasize...

"Stop stop!"

At this time, several of them were already in Lao Gun's RV, together with Jodie Foster, her life assistant, and photographer Addison Yang. Six people squeezed into the small caravan, making it slightly crowded.

"Hey, have you cleaned up yet?"

Charlotte put the old gun on her shoulder, and there was a layer of ridicule hidden in her words.

"certainly!"

Lao Qiang glared at Charlotte, but in front of the three ladies in front of him, he didn't say anything, just preparing the demo with photographer Edison.

"Speaking of which, I haven't actually seen the sample film much. I don't know how it was shot?"

Old Gun was talking to himself.

Even as an assistant director, Lao Gun's work is more about coordinating crew members and arranging some work plans. He doesn't have much contact with the actual shooting process. Although standing on the sidelines, he felt that many shots should be shot well, but after all, he was watching with a filter called anticipation. He doesn't know the real result.

"It should be really good!"

Addison Yang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said something, and Lao Qiang thought he was answering his own question. When I looked up, I realized that the other party was also talking to himself.

——Forget it, he is also a personal participant, and the judgment is not objective!

No way, Lao Gun could only set his sights on Jodie Foster.

Judy looked at the sample video being played in front of her with some surprise.

Although the demo was only played for a few minutes, and there was no post-production, lack of dubbing and soundtrack, and no editing at all, but she was born as a child actor, and she has been on the set since she was a child, and she can tell at a glance that this film is good!

Among other things, the scene where the two climbers were killed at the beginning was handled very well——

At the very beginning, the fog on the edge of the cliff where the two climbers climbed gave people a mysterious and eerie feeling. Although this kind of lens language can be used by a director, it may make the eerie atmosphere diffuse directly through the screen,

The skill of the director and the photographer cannot be underestimated;

And when the male climber is killed, the expressiveness is even more top-notch. At this time, the perspective is mainly on the female climber who is still hanging on the cliff—seeing that the companion who climbed to the top of the cliff before him ignored his call, the female climber was a little anxious and worried, and the male climber His body was suddenly thrown from the top of the cliff.

The dead body is in the field of vision, and the sense of the falling camera is very good, especially when the face of the dead body has been enlarged to cover the screen, the terrified expression and the blood on the face of the dead body before death It is even more visible. This visual impact made Judy involuntarily lean back.

In fact, this kind of lens that faces the relative movement of the door is indeed more suitable for 3D movies, but this does not mean that it has not been used in the 2D era. Jodie Foster alone can quickly list several movies that use this kind of lens, but she has never seen such a visually impactful one.

Charlotte and the photographer Edison smiled at each other. They were very satisfied with Foster's performance. This shot is the proud work of the two of them. Of course, it's not that no one has paid the price-for example, after playing the role of the victim, Brandon Fisher, who was killed and never hung the wire again.

Of course, Jodie Foster, who is sitting by the screen watching the dailies now, will not know this. She just thinks that this shot of relative movement is wonderfully handled. However, the next moment, she discovered that the excitement was still going on.

After the face of the dead body of the male climber was enlarged to the maximum, the camera obviously switched, showing the feeling of the dead body of the other party passing in front of his eyes. Then, the camera broke away from the perspective of the female climber, chasing the falling body all the way down—this is another use of the relative movement camera, but it is in the opposite direction from the previous one, but it can make people feel I can't help but feel a sense of falling that follows the body of the follower and accelerates the fall.

And at the last moment when the corpse fell to the ground, the camera shot past the corpse, stuck directly to the ground, and smoothly completed a flip—the next moment, the corpse's face fell directly onto the camera, its head like a broken watermelon , "Bang", all of a sudden, the brain burst and the screen was full...

"ah!!!"

Of course, it couldn't be the veteran Jodie Foster who screamed in fright, but her assistant Anna. As for Foster, she just lamented that her life assistant was too young, and at the same time evaluated the level of the first three consecutive sets of face-to-face movement shots that were seamlessly connected together——

If you look at it separately, each set of shots is actually not particularly new, but it takes a lot of imagination to stitch them together seamlessly. Especially being able to handle it so smoothly while expressing a full sense of impact, the director's level of control over the camera is really high.

Jodie Foster couldn't help but glanced at Charlotte beside her in admiration.

***********

Charlotte also has a sense of accomplishment in these sets of shots, but she doesn't feel complacent. Because he knows that he just borrowed a lot from the relative motion shots in the future 3D blockbusters. Now that the 3D skills are not yet mature, the impact of these shots is full, relying on the technology of the photographer Edison. As for himself, he just thought of a few tricks.

The scene that really makes Charlotte feel proud is actually still behind——
